I'm with you, Martin.

I pulled down the 1.23.8 tarball and there is no /tests folder within it. Therefore, even if I'd installed from source as of 1.23.8, I'd be stuck trying to apply the latest patch.

Ultimately I hand-edited the patch file to remove all the diffs relating to the tests folder..

Regards, Larry

I appreciate the need to talk about distributions, but meanwhile it would be nice to have a valid patch procedure for users like me who just want to get current.

Or do we have to reload the whole distribution?
